Dear Mr. Ferguson:
Company
SUBJECT:
LOSS OF DECAY HEAT REMOVAL We have just issued Generic Letter 88-17 removal (OHR) during nonpower operation.
PDII-2 Reading S. Varga, 14/H/4 G. Lainas, 14/H/3 D. Miller C. Patel L. Engle E. Jordan, 3302 MNBB B. Grimes, 9/A/2 ACRS (10)
Gray Fi le which addresses loss of decay heat This letter was issued because of the potential serious consequences of loss of shutdown cooling concurrent with significant core decay heat generation.
Further, it is our belief that the industry as a whole has not aggressively responded to resolve this concern following its identification in our earlier Generic Letter 87-12.
In particular, the industry's response to the Generic Letter 87-12 was deficient in the areas of (1) prevention of accident initi-ation, (2) mitigation of accidents before they potentially progress to core damage, and (3) control of radioactive material if a core damage accident should occur.
Generic Letter 88-17 prescribes expeditious actions, which should immediately ease the concern, and parallel, but longer term, programmed enhancements which effectively address the root cause of the problems and permit greater flexibility in operation.
We consider this issue to be of high priority and request that you assure that your organization addresses it accordingly.
Sincerely,
- Original signed by Thomas E. Murley Thomas E. Murley, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation cc:
